Well, I bought and hooked up a wireless router and was told browsing the internet and downloads should be fine, but playing games like World of Warcraft might cause me some problems. Well, I can browse the internet, but at slower than dialup speeds and downloads are also quite slow and often end up corrupted in some way when I'm connected wirelessly. Strangely enough, I play World of Warcraft just fine. I'm assuming I have something configured wrong, but I have no idea what. I ran virus program, deleted cookies and cache, but everything's still really slow. I'd appreciate any ideas anyone has. Thanks.

Is a wired connection slow too? Did a CD come with the router? If so, did you run it? Also, if the router came with WEP or WPA enabled, did you enter the key in the PC? How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.

Thanks for the response! My wired connection works fine. If I wire my PC to the router, it works fine. My router came with a CD and I ran that. My security settings are set at WPA-PSK. I'm not certain if that information is keyed into my PC or not. How do I check to see that the settings are keyed in my PC? I hate being a newb.

Usually, you can click start, connect to & show available networks. Then right click on that connection & left click on properties. That could vary depending on what program is being used to manage connections. How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.
